COACH QUOTES

Thibaut Petit, head coach of Arras: "Our three leading players spent too much time on the court. We had to keep them playing because the game was very important. They were tired at the end and we had to substitute them. And that became the turning point of the game as we lost the advantage we had gained at the end of the third period."

Vladimir Krashenin, coach of Chevakata: "We are very grateful to the girls who saved the game, fighting until the end. And we thank the fans. Their amazing support helped us greatly."
